'''''Homo habilis''''' (ook ''Australopithecus habilis'') is ’n [[spesie]] van die [[tribus]] [[Hominini]], wat sowat 2,33 tot 1,44&nbsp;miljoen jaar gelede geleef het tydens die [[Pleistoseen]]-[[periode (geologie)|periode]].<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/09/science/08cnd-fossil.html?ref=science New York Times], 9 Augustus 2007</ref> Hoewel daar omstredenheid is omdat die spesie in die [[genus]] ''[[Homo]]'' geplaas is eerder as in ''[[Australopithecus]]'',<ref name=WoodRichmond>{{cite journal | author= Wood and Richmond | year = 2000 | title = Human evolution: taxonomy and paleobiology | journal = Journal of Anatomy | volume = 197 | pages = 19–60 | pmid = 10999270 | last2= Richmond | first2= BG | pmc= 1468107 | doi=10.1046/j.1469-7580.2000.19710019.x | issue= Pt 1}} </ref><ref name="australianmuseum">Australian Museum: http://australianmuseum.net.au/Homo-habilis.</ref> word die breingrootte op 550&nbsp;cm³ tot 687&nbsp;cm³ geraam, eerder as op 363&nbsp;cm³ tot 600&nbsp;cm³ soos voorheen vermoed<ref name="australianmuseum" /><ref>Brown, Graham; Fairfax, Stephanie; Sarao, Nidhi.
